2-INSTALLATION

The instructions in this chapter refer explicitly to the Italian installation regulation UNI 10683. In any case, always observe the domestic regulations in force.

PELLETSWood pellets are manufactured by hot-extruding compressed sawdust which is produced during the working of natural dried wood. The compactness of the material is guaranteed by the lignin contained in the wood itself and allows pellets to be produced without glue or binders.The market offers different types of pellets with characteristics that vary according to the wood mixtures used. The most common diameter on the market is 6 mm (although 8 mm diameter is available too) with a length, on average, of between 3 and 40 mm. A good quality pellet has a density of between 600 and 750 or more kg/metres cubed and a water content that accounts for 5 to 8% of its weight.Pellets have technical advantages besides being an ecological fuel, as the wood residue is used completely, thereby achieving cleaner combustion than that of fossil fuels.Good-quality wood has a calorific value of 4.4 kW/kg (15% moisture, after about 18 months of seasoning), whereas that of pellets is 4.9 kW/kg. To ensure good combustion, the pellets must be stored in a dry place and protected from dirt. Pellets are usually supplied in 15 kg bags, therefore, storing them is very convenient.

Good quality pellets guarantee good combustion, thereby decreasing harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

The poorer the quality of the fuel, the more often the internal parts of the brazier and combustion chamber must be cleaned.

The main quality certifications for pellets currently available on the European market guarantee that the fuel complies with class A1/A2 according to ISO 17225-2 (ex EN 14961). These certifications include, for example, ENPlus, DINplus, Ö-Norm M7135, and in particular, guarantee the following characteristics:

• calorific value: 4.6 ÷ 5.3 kWh/kg.• Moisture content: ≤ 10% of the weight.• Percentage of ash: max 1.2% of the weight (A1 less than 0.7%).• Diameter: 6±1/8±1 mm.• Length: 3÷40 mm.• Content: 100% untreated wood without the addition of binding substances (max 5% bark).• Packaging: in sacks made from ecologically compatible or biologically decomposing material.

The company strongly recommends using certified fuel for its products (ENplus, DINplus, Ö-Norm M7135).Poor quality pellets or others that do not comply with the characteristics specified previously may compromise the operation of your product and can therefore render the guarantee and product liability invalid.

FOREWORDThe installation position must be chosen according to the room, to the smoke extraction system, to the chimney flue. Check with local authorities whether there are any restrictive regulations in force regarding the combustion air inlet, the smoke outlet system, the flue or the chimney cap. The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of installations that do not comply with the laws in force, incorrect room air exchange, electrical connection non-compliant with the standards and inappropriate use of the appliance. The installation must be carried out by a qualified technician, who must issue a declaration of conformity of the system to the purchaser and will assume full responsibility for final installation and consequent good operation of the product. In particular one must ensure that:• there is a suitable combustion air inlet and smoke outlet in compliance with the type of product installed• other stoves or devices installed do not cause depression in the room where the product is installed (for sealed appliances only, a

maximum of 15 Pa of depression in the room is allowed)• when the product is switched on there is no reflux of smoke in the room• fumes extraction takes place in total safety (sizing, smoke seal, distances from flammable materials..).

We especially recommend to check the data tags of the flue for the safety distances that must be observed in presence of combustible materials and the type of insulating material to be used. These indications must be followed strictly to prevent serious harm to people and the integrity of the home. The installation of the appliance must ensure easy access to clean the appliance itself, the smoke outlet pipes and the flue. It is forbidden to install the stove in rooms with a fire hazard. Installation in studio flats, bedrooms and bathrooms is only allowed with sealed or closed appliances equipped with suitable combustion air ducting directly outside. Always maintain adequate distance and protection in order to prevent the product from coming into contact with water.In the event there are several appliances installed, the external air inlet must be sized accordingly.

MINIMUM DISTANCESIt is recommended to install the stove detached from any walls and/or furniture, with a minimum clearance to allow effective aeration of the appliance and a good distribution of heat in the room. Comply with the distances from flammable or heat-sensitive objects (sofas, furniture, wood panelling, etc.) as specified below. The frontal distance from flammable materials must be at least as specified in the product’s technical data table.If particularly delicate objects are present, such as furniture, curtains or sofas, increase the stove clearance accordingly.

If the floor is made of wood, it is recommended to fit a floor protection sheet in compliance with the Standards in force in the country of installation.

FOREWORDThis chapter on the Smoke Flue has been produced in reference to the prescriptions of European regulations (EN13384 - EN1443 - EN1856 - EN1457).The chapter provides indications for installing an efficient and correct smoke flue but is under no circumstances to substitute the regulations in force, which the qualified technician must be in possession of. Check with local authorities whether there are any restrictive regulations in force regarding the intake of air for combustion, the smoke extraction system, the flue or the chimney.The company declines all liability relating to the poor functioning of the boiler if this is due to the use of an insufficiently sized flue in violation of regulations in force.

SMOKE FLUEThe flue or chimney is of great importance for the proper operation of a solid fuel-burning heating appliance with natural draught, as modern heating appliances have high efficiency with cooler flue gasses and consequently less draught, it is therefore essential that the flue is built up to standard and always kept in perfect working order. A flue that serves a pellet/wood fuelled appliance must be at least category T400 (or greater if the appliance requires, and resistant to soot fires. Smoke must be extracted through a single flue made of insulated steel (A) or an existing flue that complies with the intended use (B). A simple air shaft in cement must be suitably lined. In both solutions there must be an inspection cap (AT) and/or inspection hatch (AP) - FIG.1.It is prohibited to connect more than one wood/pellet (*) or any other type of appliance (vent cowling...) to the same flue.

(*) unless there are national derogations (for instance in Germany), which under suitable conditions allow for the installation of several appliances in the same fireplace. In any case, strictly follow the product/installation requirements of the relative regulations/legislation in force in that country

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICSHave the efficiency of the flue checked by an authorised technician.The flue must be sealed against flue gasses, in a vertical direction without narrowing, be made with materials impermeable to smoke, condensation, thermally insulated and suitable to resist normal mechanical stress over time (we recommend fireplaces made of A/316 or refractory material with insulated round section double chamber). Be suitably insulated externally to avoid condensation and reduce smoke cooling. It should be separated from combustible or flammable materials with an air gap or insulating materials: check the distance specified by the manufacturer of the fireplace according to EN1443. The chimney opening must be in the same room as the appliance, or at most in the adjoining room, and have a soot and condensation collection chamber beneath the opening, and be accessible via a watertight metal hatch.

DIMENSIONINGThe drop in pressure (draft) of a flue depends on its height. Check the drop in pressure with the values indicated in the technical characteristics. The minimum height of the chimney is 3.5 meters.

The interior cross-section of the flue can be circular (best variation), square or rectangular (the ratio between the interior sides must be ≤1.5) with the sides joined with a minimum radius of 20 mm. The dimension of the cross-section must be minimum Ø100mm.

The cross sections/lengths of chimneys must be correctly sized in accordance with the general method of calculation of UNI EN13384-1 or other proven efficiency methods.

Below is a list of some flues available on the market:

Steel chimney AISI 316 with double chamber insulated with ceramic fibre or equiva-lent resistant up to 400°C.

Refractory chimney with double insulated chamber and external lightweight concrete cladding with cellular material such as clay.

Traditional square-section clay chimney with insulating empty inserts.

Avoid products with an internal rectangular section where the larger side is 1.5 times the smaller side (e.g. 20x40 or 15x30).

MAINTENANCEThe flue must be kept clean, since the deposit of soot or unburned oils reduces the cross-section reducing the draft and thus compromising the efficient functioning of the heater and, if large build-ups accumulate, can catch fire. The flue and chimney must be cleaned and checked by a qualified chimney sweep at least once a year. Once the maintenance has been performed, request a written declaration that the device is safe.Failure to clean the system jeopardises the safety.

CHIMNEYThe chimney is a crucial element for the heating appliance to work properly: we recommend a wind proof chimney (A), see Figure 7.The area of the opening for smoke extraction must be at least double the cross-section of the smoke duct/flue system, and arranged so

that smoke extraction is ensured even in strong wind. The chimney must prevent rain, snow or animals from entering the chimney. The height of outflow into the atmosphere must be beyond the reflux zone created by the shape of the roof or any obstacles near the outlet (see Figures 2-3-4-5-6).

EXTERNAL AIR INLETIt is mandatory to provide an adequate external air intake that supplies the combustion air required for the product to work properly. The flow of air between the outside and the installation room may be direct, through an inlet in an external wall of the room; or indirect, via air intake from adjoining rooms and connecting permanently with the installation room (see Figure 9 b). Adjoining areas may not include sleeping areas, garages or general areas with a fire hazard. During installation one must check the minimum clearances required for air intake from outside. Take into account the presence of doors and windows that could interfere with the proper flow of air to the stove (see diagram below).The air intake must have a minimum total net area of 80 cm2: the surface must be increased accordingly if within the room there are other active generators (for example: electric fan for stale air extraction, kitchen hood, other stoves, etc...), which could cause cause depression in the room. One must verify that, with all the equipment on, the pressure drop between the room and the outside does not exceed a value of 4 Pa. If necessary increase the intake section of the air inlet, which must be made at floor level and always protected with a bird-proof outer protection grid and in such a way that it cannot be obstructed by any object.

It is possible to connect the air required for combustion directly to the outside air inlet, with a pipe of at least Ø50mm, with maximum length of 3linear metres; each pipe bend shall be considered equivalent to a linear metre. To attach the pipe see the back of the stove. For stoves installed in studio flats, bedrooms and bathrooms (where allowed), it is mandatory to connect the combustion air outside. In particular for sealed stoves the connection must be sealed in order not to compromise the overall sealed characteristic of the system.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONFirst connect the power cable to the rear part of the product and then to a wall socket, which must always be accessible. Should this not be possible, during installation, insert appropriate disconnecting power supply devices, in compliance with the national regulations regarding electrical installations.

It is recommended to disconnect the power cable when the product is not used.

FANS ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONThe kit comes with 2.5 metre long silicone cables for fans cabling. Start cabling as follows:In position 2 connect the yellow/green wire while in position 1 connect the remaining two wires (the colour sequence does not matter as the fans do not have polarization) (fig.7).The terminal block, to which one must connect the fan cables (fig.8), is screwed to the upper part of the structure .Connect the two fans earthing cables to the first clamp on the left (T). Connect the remaining two cables from the LH fan with the clamps connected to the white cables (B). Connect the remaining two cables from the RH fan with the clamps connected to the purple cables (V).

IMPORTANT!The fan connection cable is made of silicone to resist high temperatures. In the event of extension cables (over 2.5 m) and in any case under all circumstances, make sure that the cable does not come into contact with hot parts of the unit, or with air connecting pipes within the cladding or structure.

SETTING UP THE CLADDINGThe product must be fully tested before the cladding is applied. The company cannot be held liable for any damage to the cladding should operating anomalies arise, which were not verified before the cladding was applied to the product.IT IS MANDATORY to check the tightness of all the pipes through which smoke passes (smoke fitting, gaskets and flue coupling) before setting up the cladding.READ THE "OPERATION TEST" CHAPTER BEFORE SETTING UP THE PRODUCT CLADDING.

The product and the cladding parts must be fastened together WITH NO CONTACT MADE WITH THE STEEL STRUCTURE in order to prevent heat from being transmitted to the marble and/or stone and to allow for normal thermal expansion. Pay attention to the wood finishes, such as beams or shelves.It is recommended to set up the counter hood made of 15 to 20 mm thick fireproof plasterboard with a freestanding frame made of a galvanised profile to prevent bearing the weight on the cladding components (wooden beams or marble lintels), which do not have a freestanding structure in order to intervene easily in case of anomalies and/or future maintenance. Dry mount the hearth of the cladding, leaving a 1 cm gap between the insert and the hearth for insulation.

WOODEN BEAM INSULATIONIf you wish to mount a wooden beam, it must be protected with adequate insulation from the hot parts in order to prevent the risk of fire or damage to the cladding.

STANDARD CLADDING ASSEMBLYThe installation guide found in each specific cladding must be referred to for the setting up of MCZ product specific claddings.

6-FIRST START-UP

Technical Dept. - All rights reserved - Reproduction is prohibited

GENERAL PRECAUTIONSRemove all components that could burn from the firebox and the glass (instructions, various adhesive labels and any polystyrene).Check that the brazier is positioned correctly and rests properly on the base.

After a long period of inactivity, remove any pellets left in the hopper (using a vacuum cleaner with a long pipe), as they could have absorbed moisture, thereby altering their original characteristics and no longer being suitable for combustion.

The first start-up may not be successful as the feed screw is empty and does not always manage to load the required amount of pellets in the brazier in time for the fire to be regularly ignited.

If a flame does not ignite after a number of failed start-ups, even though the pellet supply is correct, make sure the brazier is set in place correctly, which must be interlocked in its seat and clean from any ash deposits. If no anomaly is found during this inspection, there may be a problem with the product components or installation may not be correct.

REMOVE THE PELLETS FROM THE BRAZIER AND CONTACT AN AUTHORISED TECHNICIAN.

Avoid touching the product during the initial start-up, as the paint hardens during this phase. If you touch the paint, the steel surface may be exposed.

If necessary, touch up the paint with the spray can of the specific colour.

It is good practice to guarantee effective ventilation in the room during the initial start-up, as the product will emit some smoke and smell of paint.

Do not stand close to the product and air the room. The smoke and smell of paint will disappear after about an hour of operation, however, remember they are not harmful in any case.The product will be subject to expansion and contraction during the start-up and cooling phases, therefore light creaking noises may be heard.It is extremely important to make sure the product is not immediately overheated and the temperature is increased gradually starting from the low power. This will prevent damaging the welds and the steel structure.

DO NOT EXPECT HEATING EFFICIENCY IMMEDIATELY!!!

7-LOADING THE PELLETS

LOADING THE PELLETSFuel is loaded from the side or front door, which is to be fitted on the cladding, which provides access to the fuel loading chute.The loading procedure is facilitated if performed in a number of steps as described below:• Open the door and pour half the contents on the chute directly from the bag or using the supplied spade (A)• Push the pellets accumulated in the chute towards the hopper using the supplied tool (B) and distribute them uniformly.• Complete the operation by pouring the second half from the bag in the same way

No other type of fuel other then pellets, in compliance with above-mentioned specifications, is to be inserted into the hopper.Store the spare fuel at an adequate safe distance.Do not pour pellets directly onto the brazier but only into the hopper.

TIMER MODE (TIMER)Select this operating mode to switch the product on and off automatically, according to 6 customised time bands (P1 – P6). The following can be set for each time band:• start-up time.• Shutdown time.• Desired room temperature during that time band.• Days of the week when the time band is to be activated.When the product is switched on (manually via button A or automatically via a time band), it operates in the automatic mode, described above. A time band appears automatically when it is active (P1 in figure 3) and the desired temperature is changed to the value set in the time band. However, the user can always modify this value as desired and in real time.Refer to "Timer Settings" to learn how to set the time bands.

ECO MODE (ECO)This mode is activated/deactivated by pressing key B for 5" on the remote control while it is switched on.ECO is an automatic mode with the only difference that if the set temperature is reached and remains so for the subsequent 20 minutes (despite flame modulation), the product is switched off and remains on stand by until the room temperature drops 2 degrees below the desired temperature (and in any case for at least 5 minutes from the last shutdown). The product is then switched on again. Figure 4If the room is not sufficiently insulated, flame modulation does not allow the set temperature to be met for 20 consecutive minutes and the product will not go off.NOTE: It is recommended to use the ECO mode only in well-insulated rooms in order to prevent start-up and shutdown from occurring within short periods of time. The remote control remains on even when the product is off when in ECO mode, in order to indicate that this shutdown is only temporary. Obviously, if the product is switched off from key A, ECO mode is exited and the product remains off.Up to 6 automatic start-up and shutdown time bands (E1 – E6) can also be set in ECO mode, which are independent from those of TIMER mode (P1 – P6). If they have been activated, TIMER-ECO appears on the display (figure 5) permanently, even if the remote control is switched off.Refer to "Timer Settings" to learn how to set the time bands.NOTE: If the remote control is switched off in TIMER mode, ECO mode can only be re-activated by the user (key A) or when started-up by the next valid time band. Combined use of TIMER and ECO modes requires a good knowledge of the product operating logic.

11-RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SAFE USE

Technical Dept. - All rights reserved - Reproduction is prohibited

ONLY CORRECT INSTALLATION AND APPROPRIATE MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING OF THE APPLIANCE CAN GUARANTEE CORRECT OPERATION AND SAFE USE OF THE PRODUCT.

We would like to inform you that we are aware of cases of malfunctioning of domestic pellet-fuelled heating products, mainly due to incorrect installation and inappropriate maintenance. We would like to assure you that all of our products are extremely safe and certified according to European standards of reference. The ignition system has been tested with the utmost attention to enhance ignition efficiency and to prevent any type of problem, even in the worst operating conditions. In any case, like for any other pellet-fuelled product, our appliances must be installed correctly and undergo regular periodical cleaning and maintenance to guarantee safe operation. Our studies show us that malfunctioning is mainly due to the combination of part or all of the following factors:

• Brazier holes obstructed or brazier deformed, due to lack of maintenance and conditions which can cause delayed ignitions, generating an anomalous production of unburned gases.

• Insufficient combustion air due to a reduced or clogged air inlet duct. • Use of smoke ducts nonconforming to regulatory installation requirements, failing to guarantee an adequate draught. • Partially clogged chimney, due to lack of maintenance, reducing the draught and making ignition difficult. • End chimneypot nonconforming to the indications of the instruction manual, and therefore not suitable to prevent potential inverse

draught. • This factor is crucial when the product is installed in especially windy areas, such as coastal regions.

The combination of one or more of these factors could generate important malfunctioning conditions.To keep this from occurring, it is fundamental to guarantee that the product is installed in compliance with standards in force.Furthermore it is of the utmost importance to respect the following simple rules:

• Every time the brazier is removed for cleaning, it must always be put back properly in the work position before using the product, completely removing any residual filth left on the support base.

• Pellets must never be loaded in the brazier manually, either before ignition or during operation.• The accumulation of unburned pellets ensuing a failed ignition must be removed before repeating ignition. Also check that they are

fed correctly and that the combustion air inlet/smoke outlet are regular.• If ignition fails repeatedly, immediately suspend use of the product and contact a qualified technician to check its operation.

Compliance with these indications is absolutely sufficient to guarantee proper operation and to avoid any type of problems with the product.If the above-mentioned precautions are not taken, and during ignition the brazier is overloaded with pellets thus generating anomalous smoke in the combustion chamber, carefully follow the indications below:

• Do not disconnect electrical power to the product for any reason whatsoever: this would stop the smoke extractor, releasing smoke into the environment.

• Take the precaution of opening the windows to ventilate the installation room from any smoke in the environment (the chimney might not work properly).

• Do not open the fire door: this would compromise regular operation of the smoke extraction system to the chimney.• Just switch the stove off by acting on the on-off button on the control panel (not the rear power supply socket button!) and move

away until smoke has completely evacuated.• Before attempting re-ignition, clean the brazier and its air passage holes completely of all deposits and unburned pellets. Put

the brazier back in place, removing any residue from its support base. If ignition fails repeatedly, immediately suspend use of the product and contact a qualified technician to check its operation and the chimney.

46

12-MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Only by properly servicing and cleaning the product is it possible to ensure its safety and correct operation.

ATTENTION!All the cleaning operations of all parts must be performed with the product completely cold and the plug disconnected.Disconnect the product from the 230V power supply before performing any maintenance operation.

The product requires little maintenance if used with certified good quality pellets.

DAILY OR WEEKLY CLEANING PERFORMED BY THE USERBrazier cleaningBefore ignition, always clean the brazier and remove any ash or incrustation from it that might obstruct the air flow holes, paying attention to hot ash. In the case of ignition failure, or if fuel in the tank runs out, unburned pellets may accumulate in the brazier. Always empty the residue in the brazier before each start-up. You may only use a vacuum cleaner to remove ash when it is completely cold. In this case, use a suitable vacuum cleaner to remove small sized particles.

REMEMBER THAT ONLY A CORRECTLY POSITIONED AND CLEAN BRAZIER CAN GUARANTEE IGNITION AND OPTIMAL OPERATION OF YOUR PELLET PRODUCT. IN CASE OF FAILED IGNITION AND AFTER ANY OTHER LOCK STATE OF THE PRODUCT, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO EMPTY THE BRAZIER BEFORE EVERY RESTART

For the brazier to be cleaned properly, remove it from its housing completely and thoroughly clean all the holes and the grate on the bottom. If good quality pellets are used, you will normally only need to use a brush to restore the optimal operating conditions of the component.Ash tray cleaningRemove and empty the ash tray. Wipe away any residual ash before reinserting the tray. Your experience and the quality of the pellets will determine the ash tray cleaning frequency. However, it is recommended not to exceed 2 or 3 days.

CLEANING THE GLASSIt is recommended to clean the ceramic glass with a dry brush, or if it is very dirty, spray a little specific detergent and clean with a cloth.

ATTENTION!Do not use abrasive products and do not spray the glass spray cleaner on the painted parts or the door gaskets (ceramic fibre cord).

PERIODIC CLEANING PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIANPULLING THE PRODUCT OUTPart of the product must be extracted from its seat for maintenance to be performed on certain devices and to clean certain parts. The mobile part is fitted on sliding guides, which facilitate the handling process. The compensation frame must be removed by following the instructions in this manual before pulling the product out in order to prevent any damage during maintenance. The two lower front screws must be removed from the product in order to pull it out.Once the screws are removed, simply exert slight force towards you to pull the mobile part like a drawer. The guides have an end-of-travel that block the mobile part when extracted completely.

ATTENTION: THE PRODUCT MUST ONLY BE PULLED OUT WHEN COLD AND THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED IN ADVANCE.When the mobile part is set back in place, make sure the two screws removed previously are tightened well. The product may not work if the above is not done, due to no power supply or leaking soot.

CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGERThe compartment through which the exhaust smoke passes must be cleaned at the end of the winter season.This cleaning process is mandatory in order to facilitate the general removal of all combustion residue, before it becomes very difficult to remove it due to the humidity compacting it over time.If necessary, clean it more often.

It is good practice to guarantee effective ventilation in the room while cleaning the product.

When the appliance is cold, open the door and remove the ash pan as well as the brazier. Then loosen the three screws just above the hearth opening and remove the bracket that blocks the internal refractory parts made of Alutec.Gently remove the lateral sides and then the rear panel with the bracket that keeps it blocked in place.

12-MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE SMOKE DUCT AND FITTINGWhen the product is extracted, you can intervene on the smoke fan (1) from the left side for cleaning and maintenance purposes. Clearly, the smoke evacuation fan must be removed for such maintenance to be performed.A gasket (3) is applied on the fan outlet, which guarantees the tightness with the smoke fitting (2). Always verify that this gasket is intact and if necessary, replace it. The gasket can also be adjusted via a screw. The pressure on the fitting can be increased or decreased by loosening the screw.The flue connection to its ash collection compartment (4) is located in the rear/lateral part of the product, in line with the fan outlet. Also clean this compartment with a vacuum cleaner by inserting the nozzle on the fan inlet hole.Then clean the smoke exhaust, especially around the fittings, curves and any horizontal sections. For information on cleaning the flue, contact a chimney sweeper.

ATTENTION! The frequency with which the smoke exhaust must be cleaned depends on the use of the product and the type of installation.

OTHER CHECKSAll the tightness gaskets fitted on the components on which maintenance is to be performed (smoke evacuation fan, inspection sections, etc.) must be replaced when these are removed for maintenance purposes. Verify the tightness of the gaskets on the hearth door and if necessary, contact an authorized service centre for them to be replaced.

The company recommends contacting an authorised service centre for end-of-season maintenance and cleaning as the above-mentioned operations will be performed together with a general inspection of the components.
